Taylor Swift was honored with the MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year for her lead single, “Fate of Ophelia.” The chart-breaking single was from the album The Life of a Showgirl, released on October 3, 2025. Swift became the most-awarded artist in VMA history, reaching 33 Moon Person trophies. The silver astronaut […]
Sometimes the beginning of an idea is simply a material that makes you curious. Glass shaped by the sea, clay, metal, enamel, paper, photographs, thread. Artists have a way of asking, What could this become? Volume 16 of Things I Love is filled with makers who seem willing to follow that question. @olgaoblezina @nature.art.journal @tkiplinger […]
Three new findings are joining the Nunn Design collection. Each finding has something different to explore in your jewelry designs. If a finding is marked Out of Stock, you can click Notify Me on the product page and enter your email address. We’ll let you know as soon as it’s available in the coming week. […]
We love seeing what makers notice about fall and how they bring those details into their work. In this group, that means embroidered leaves, painted mushrooms, mosaic, resin, woodland clasps, and plenty of rich autumn color! Take a look at the jewelry these makers have created, then visit their pages to see more of their […]
Fall has a way of drawing our attention back to the small details in nature: leaves, branches, acorns, and all the textures that come with the changing season. We pulled together a few Nunn Design findings that fit naturally into fall jewelry, from woodland-inspired toggles and connectors to plant charms, antlers, and acorn details. Mushroom […]
There is so much personality in the work our maker community has been sharing lately. From hand-painted and embroidered details to stone, metalwork, flowers, and miniature artwork, here are a few pieces that caught our attention this month. We hope you’ll take a moment to visit these artists and see more of their work. Nancy […]
We never get tired of seeing where artists take an idea. Sometimes the interest is in the materials. Sometimes it is in the balance of a piece, an unexpected detail, or the way familiar elements have been brought together in a completely personal way. For this volume of Things I Love, we are sharing a […]
August evenings have us thinking about stars, crescent moons, and the celestial details that find their way into jewelry. We’ve gathered a little inspiration from the Nunn Design maker community, along with some of our moon and star findings and a project worth revisiting from the tutorial archives. @adorejulesdesigns @adorejulesdesigns @littlebluebusjewelry @bykatiek Make It: Moon, […]
One of our favorite parts of what we do is seeing how makers bring their own style and ideas to Nunn Design findings. Here are a few pieces that recently caught our attention. We hope you will take a moment to visit these artists and see more of their work. These hummingbird necklaces are a […]
As many of you know, during COVID, many of our suppliers, after generations of ownership, chose to close their doors forever. Our wire supplier, as well as the vendor that textured the wire for all of our textured jumprings, were among those suppliers. We feel we have found a great alternative to the original Nunn […]
Have we shared our wire frames enough? These simple shapes can be wrapped, filled, layered, or made completely your own! A few wrapped beads or pearls can add color and texture. A suspended charm can bring movement. Resin or epoxy clay can turn the open center into a place for pattern, imagery, or tiny details. […]

That evening, we had settled for dinner in the backyard of our West Seattle home. Brett had made a little bonfire and we were grilling chicken and sausages […]
What I love most about our Open Pendants Split is how many directions they can take. They offer enough structure to help begin a design, leaving plenty of room for each maker to bring in their own materials, ideas and meaning. Use Epoxy Clay in one section and leave another open. Add resin to part of the […]
Photo by Patrick Robinson on Unsplash Christine and I often visited a beach near the Fauntleroy Ferry on these hot summer evenings. Brett had inflated a rubber raft that we had picked up at a garage sale the Saturday before, and he was cooling off in Puget Sound as Christine and I sat along the […]
